Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I gave birth to a baby five years back in seventh month and experienced tooth pain in my lower right tooth due to a cavity. I visited a dentist and had a tooth extraction in after one month of my baby's birth, which was 48 days postpartum. The extraction was a little critical, and half of the tooth was extracted before the remaining tooth was extracted. However, I still experience pain in the eye, head, and neck nerves on the right side, as well as itching at the extraction site. I want to know how long it will take to recover from this pain and whether it will be lifelong. Additionally, I want to know how long to wait for tooth extraction after postpartum. Please suggest.

Thanking you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and I can understand your concern.

Usually, the pain should not be there after a week. In your case, it looks like you have a root stem left there. It would be best to get an X-ray to rule out any left root stem. The other possibility is a cavity in the next tooth. If you have a post extraction x-ray, please upload it here so I can provide you proper opinion.

I hope my answer will help you and visit us if you have any further questions.

Regards.
